"Story" is the design of content or characters, and the important expression of story is mirror.

Mirror transport can be simply understood as "moving lens", and the core is scene scheduling, just like building the foundation of a "video" building.

That is, through the movement of the camera, the framing of the picture and the scene and angle of the left picture change, and more details and "rhythm" are presented in the process of the picture, thus bringing the audience into a topic scene.

Popular translation, making a video is like writing an article, and the lens language is like the grammar in the article!

The basic skills of crosstalk are speaking, learning, teasing and singing. The skills of carrying mirrors can be divided into pushing, pulling, shaking, moving, following, throwing, rising and falling.

1, push the lens "push"-the lens is from far to near, close to the main body, so that the audience can see a certain layout as a whole.

Three commonly used push lenses:

Standard version: pushed from large and medium-sized scenes to small and medium-sized scenes or close-up scenes to enlarge the main parts or local details and occupy the screen.

Oblique lens: the side turns to the front (or vice versa), and the angle of view changes, which enriches the lens expression.

Push forward at a low angle: highlight the emotion and narrative of looking up at the camera.

Scenario application:

Start (the appearance of characters); Ending (highlighting the main body).

2.reveal (meaning to show slowly) the lens moves backward from near to far, the scene range changes from small to large, and the subject changes from large to small;

The picture changes from local to whole, and the scene is pulled from close shot or near middle shot to panoramic and distant view.

Key role: explain the environment of the characters and bring the audience into the scene.

Application examples: for example, eating, cooking, drinking water, etc. When shooting VLOG.

3. Shake the lens to locate the mobile phone, and with the help of the chassis, the camera lens can rotate up and down, left and right, or even left and right;

Just like the eyes of a character, patrol the subject; It is unique in spatial description and environmental introduction.

Shake from side to side, especially introducing big scenes; Up and down, used to show the majestic and steep peaks, can often give the audience an immersive experience, which is very good.

Short video real-life example: shooting large-scale scenes such as scenery, urban architecture, large-scale banquet, sky and ocean, with strong overall sense.

4. The camera moves horizontally from left to right. When the graphic moves forward, the camera will move in the same direction as the graphic.

Similar to the state of people watching while walking in life, it can break the limitations of the picture, make more space and be more free.

The effect is flexible, but the mobile phone is easy to shake and difficult to control. It is recommended to buy stabilizer or octopus with tripod head.

Scene application: picture connection, introduction of opening characters, etc. , emphasizing the connection between character space and psychology.

For example, when selling real estate, the camera will move and talk while walking, which makes users feel that they are in it.

5. The changing usage of the camera is similar to that of the camera, and the camera moves at the same distance from the subject;

It is suitable for the continuous expression of characters' actions, expressions or details, which is conducive to expressing the relationship between the subject and the environment, guiding the user's sight and enhancing the sense of existence and participation.

Application example:

Running cats and dogs, cars on the street, or pedestrians walking forward, with slow motion, the characters are more vivid.

6. The lens that moves up and down moves up and down, at the same time, it enlarges and narrows the visual field of the picture through shooting, and forms a multi-angle and multi-directional composition effect through the constant change of viewpoint.

Function: to highlight the spatial panorama of the subject depth and the momentum and atmosphere of the scene.

Practical example: shoot the whole picture of human body, houses and trees from top to bottom.

However, although the camera moves with people, we try to keep the subject in the most basic composition of four lines and nine palaces, and the theme is distinct.

Finally, warm reminder: remember, moving the mirror is the means, and expression is the ultimate goal;

The purpose of the mirror is to let the lens/picture tell the story for you, so try more and think more, and you will eventually practice your own shooting "magic"!
